 | First the fern produces
spores in structures call sporangia on the underside of the fronds. These
clusters of sporangia from brown spots called sori.These spores are produced
through meiosis and are monoploid. |
| When the sporangia
explodes or burst open tiny little spores released and scatter every where. These spores
are carried by wind. In most cases the spores are carried very far away from the parent
plant. |
| Then these spores grow into
heart shaped gametophytes. Them being monoploid. |
| Through mitosis the gametophtye
produces eggs and sperm. |
| Finally the sperm swim
toward the egg. Until it reaches it and the egg becomes fertilized. The egg being diploid. |
| Soon it divides by mitosis
and turned into a new fern sporophtye. |
| This process continues
generation after generation. |
